The tuba may be one of the largest instruments in a symphony orchestra and an important source of the brass sound, but it is rarely celebrated in a work that puts it front and center. All that changed Thursday evening at Orchestra Hall.
All that changed Thursday evening at Orchestra Hall as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, led by Maestro Riccardo Muti, performed Lalo Schifrin’s “Concerto for Tuba and Orchestra,” with Gene Pokorny, the CSO’s masterful principal tuba since 1989, at the helm.Schifrin, now 91, is the Argentinean-born composer most widely known for his immense number of award-winning scores for television shows and Hollywood films, although he has written many symphonies and concertos as well.
